The Jan. 18-19 visit, at the invitation of Queen Beatrix, will be the first official visit in the Netherlands from any of the Baltic states, the press office said. The president is expected to meet with the queen and Prime Minister J.P.Balkenende, as well to speak at the University of Leyden and to the Dutch parliament.
